When Life Takes The Scenic Route
Teresa Edwards thought she knew how life was meant to go. Career. Marriage. Home. Children. A nice straight line into the future.
Then, in December 1990, her fingertips began to tingle. She found a perfectly sensible explanation and carried on. At least, she thought it was perfectly sensible.
More than thirty years later, she looks back at the glitches, the diagnosis and everything that came afterwards: raising a family, learning to accept help, moving to Spain, and negotiating a body that has never been especially good at following instructions.
Warm, candid and full of humour, Memoir of a Wobbly Life tells the story of a life lived with MS: sometimes difficult, frequently ridiculous, and rarely following the route expected.
